NEW MUSIC: KEVIN MICHAEL – “AREOLA”


♫ K of THEY (formerly Kevin Michael) – Areola

Do you remember the artist formerly known as Kevin Michael? Well, he’s back, with a new band, entitled THEY with a brand new track entitled, “Areola.”

Kevin, who now refers to himself only as K, alongside THEY and B. Kidd produced this new sound that he’s going for.

THEY will follow K through his futuristic journey, Looking For L.I.S.A., in which they recorded their album as if it were the years 1980-1989, with influences like David Bowie, Queen, Michael Jackson, George Michael, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Prince and Cameo, to name a few.

    When I read the title of this post on Twitter, I could not believe that somebody went there w/ a song title. This dude really said “I want your lips on my cock.” Got damn! What happened to romance and metaphors?

  12. CupSoFull

    I kinda dig it..Kevin Michael is known for his risque lyrics though.

  13. Kc

    Ugh I LOVE Kevin Micheal, Only thing a bit dishearteneing about the new image/sound is that his original sound was so inspiration/and in depth, But thats life, Folks didn’t respond.

    So off to new ventures… Despite it all you cant deny this man’s talent.

    The song.I dig , the story line is dope as well.

  15. zim

    nice sound, never heard of him before though

  16. Zachary

    LMAO umm…how dreadful. I actually felt distressed after listening to that

  17. Junk

    Sounds like he’s been listening to old Prince albums. I’m not so sure about this one. And I’m just a little bit creeped out by the picture. See-through muscle shirt? Wasn’t even cute in the 80s and 90s. Just sayin.

  18. can't do it like bey

    Ha! Watch people call this mess original when it clearly states the multiple influences and what time frame the album is set in. I just don’t even know what to say. It sounds like a Prince/Lady Gaga throwaway.

  19. Honey_Glow

    Well his areola is showing through the see-through shirt. At least the image is living up to the song. The industry done got to him :\

  20. d money

    This is the closest thing to a gay rapper.

  21. Tee

    wow, i was a big kevin michael fan, been begging for new music but wow.. i’m shocked.. and that picture looks nothing like him…

  22. angelita

    Wait is that the came Kevin Michael that use to have an afro? May be I’m getting him confused with someone else because he looks totally different and sounds totally different.

  23. SOFRESH

    I LIKE WOMAN WITH BIG AREOLAS

  24. SoCold

    Lets face it ya’ll, this LadyGaga pop world is the where music is heading.
    Oddly, I’m actually kind of feelin this, and can hear this blazing the radio.
    Im sure Ryan Seacrest would play this all day and night.

  25. DEE

    Someone tell this dude that the 80′s have come and gone.

  26. Justin

    Talk about reinventing yourself. I’m not mad.

  27. Funmi

    I like the nostalgic feel of this song :)

  28. babysis

    Uhhh, this sounds like voguing music…Not bad tho.

  30. dan dada

    Wait! Kevin Michael with the afro??? I love that dude!

  31. Just I

    Oh come on this SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS!!! Who is this dickhead???

  32. Heaven of Shoes

    loving it

  33. gene

    this is actually the kind of music he was doing but atlantic made him put out earthy/neosoul records. definitely not a sound he’s doing JUST because it’s in. “liquid lava love” off of his first album should prove that.

  34. LULU

    I like it, sounds like Passion Pit, especially the lyrics how he pauses between what would logically be the nasty word to rhyme with from the last line for something that isn’t nasty and doesn’t rhyme at all.

  35. lori.d

    This is an abomination. I feel like kicking him in his “cup” for listing prince and mj as influences for this mess!

  36. Allen_J

    ehhhhhhh not my thing

  37. dan dada

    36 ur a dumbass, all those people were listed as influence for the album not the song solely.

  38. chellz

    Whoa! he really changed i had to google image kevin michael to see if this was the same guy that wore the cute curly afro and it is….

  39. Yoda

    AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN’T SEEM TO FIND ANY INFO ON THIS GROUP? NO BAND PICS, NO SITES, NO NOTHING..

  40. M

    I love, love, LOVE how this new generation is coming out more aggressive and exploring sexuality, like the 80′s but revamped!

    As far as the song, I’m hearing a lot of Prince influences, obviously, which is appropriate since he basically passed the torch to the new generation coming up now. I also like what @Margovox is doing with her sound as well (very 80′s).

    I know a lot of people are going to say that this has been done before this and that but I think we need to continuously pay homage to history because it keeps the energy going you know?

    Anyway, like some previously said I can hear this on the radio most definitely and can’t wait for new material from K; I liked his old material as well but you know what? This is a new phase for him and I totally support his decisions henceforth.

    So, so, so, so happy for the new generation (can’t say that enough) — from K of THEY to Nicki Minaj — keep doing you! Love it, live it, feel it, breathe it!

    I’m kinda sad he didn’t say “COCK” instead of “CUP” that would have been so f*cking flagrant but in a god way. Oh well. That’s just me anyway!

  41. Teebee

    Wow…this completely different from the song he did with Lupe Fiasco a few yrs ago…sounds like he has been influenced more by Adam Lambert and Lady Gaga than Prince. Prince was way more soulful/funky with this type of song.

  42. M

    I think it sounds like a revamped Prince, something he would be doing now if he was K’s age range now..And remember Adam is also influenced by Prince, among others. If anything we can definitely agree that it is a bit progressive than Prince’s work..

  43. lemonhead

    WTH is this mess? Nope, even by weird/offbeat standards it’s not good.

  44. AplMacLady

    WOW! I didn’t even recognize him! TOTALLY different sound. Kevin Michael I like better and I hear a LOT of Prince in this song, not a fave of mine…

  45. Ash_J

    I dunno. I’m all for fresh sound, but this is lacking. At least Prince had that funky gutsy soul in his voice. This would be cool as a demo.

  46. Bdub27

    this ish is awful….he really went out like a sukka with this. I get that he wants to reinvent himself but the Shalamar see through shirt and this electro-pop crap is not the move….Back to the drawing baord KM…smh…smh …real hard
